Everton fans have taken to Twitter to express their reaction to reports linking the club with a move for Burnley winger Dwight McNeil.

According to reports from The Telegraph, Rafael Benitez wants to ‘add greater width to his side’ and has earmarked McNeil for the role.

He is also being tracked by Aston Villa, with Dean Smith looking to bolster his attack despite the club record £33 million purchase of Emiliano Buendia from Norwich last month.

Villa are leading the race to sign McNeil, but Benitez is a keen admirer of the 21-year-old.

The Toffees value him at around £25 million, but Burnley would demand £50 million to part company with their prized asset.

Many Everton fans feel that McNeil would be a fantastic signing for the club. Here are some of the selected tweets:

He’s a great player. Need to pay more attention to Burnley matches if you think he’s lazy. He has 1 in 10 games where he disappears but it’s because we expect so much from him because of how good he is the other 9 games
